typical humor of Thompson, but he's limited by length a lot (these are all articles for the progressive SF newspaper "The Examiner" and thus all about 3 pages long) so there is not a lot of depth to the content, and there's a bit of overlap to some of the articles too which makes some of the jokes fall flat when you've heard them two times already. But I did learn a lot about the politics of '86 and '87 that I didn't really know, and it reaffirmed by utter disdain for American democracy. ( )

Wild and woolly and full of fleas, but, again, not his best stuff. Thompson called this 'political allegory.' Some of it seems just like drivel. . . . ( )
